Hark! She bids all her friends adieu,
Some angel calls her to the spheres;
Our eyes the radiant saint pursue
Through liquid telescopes of tears.
And is the lovely, lovely shadow fled?
The blooming wonders of her years
So soon enshrined among the dead:
She justly claims our pious tears.
Farewell, bright soul, A short farewell
Till we shall meet again above,
In the sweet groves where pleasures dwell,
And trees of life bear fruits of love.
